Premium Member Diesel Posted September 29, 2021 Premium Member Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 A few years ago, The NBA put out a list of top 50 players ever. It was a celebrated list... but again that was 1996. So it's 25 years later. Here's my question. In remaking the top 50 players list.... What Hawks would deserve to be nominated for that team?

RedDawg#8 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 When they release the top 75 players list they should do 2 versions. One where they only add 25 names to the prior top-50, and another where they re-do the whole list of 75 which could leave off a few names from before.

If you don't like Joe and his 7 allstar visits, and his 47th in NBA FG% and 44 in NBA Points. I understand. But Deke!!! He's 2nd in NBA in Blocks. 43rd in Rebounds. And 26th in Career defensive rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Mutombo but still don't understand (other than recency bias) why Hawks have retired his jersey but not Roundfield's. But that's another deal.

Moderators AHF Posted September 30, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Bob Pettit Dominique Wilkins Deke was a great player but doesn't make the top 50 cut for me. A lot of great players don't make that cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
